Review summary

I brought the kids so of course they're favorite part was the food. I like the seating assignment and time for dinner. The waiters were friendly and attentive in Botticelli dining table 33 at 530 sitting. We were there during our anniversary, I like the balloons and greeting card in the door. The stateroom attendant was good, I want to recognize Joey for up keeping our room. They should have more bar tenders, they were always slow in filling alcohol beverage order and refills. We purchased the unlimited drink package and sometimes we could only do 1 order of drink during a meal sitting. Other than that wewill go back on the cruise again.

Recognize Joey for up keeping our room. Just need bigger beds and more space most especially with 4 people.

Ship tip

Ask to sit in Botticelli table 33.

Thanks so much for the information. It sounds like they have everything covered. My fellow is 6 and easy pleased. First cruise for us so everything is new and we are going without any prior knowledge. Thanks again for taking the time and responding with useful information.

I took my teenage niece on the Coral Princess and she enjoyed the kids area. The Ruby is supposed to have even more (The deck plans show that it is quite a bit more space). Since Princess tends to have an older crowd the kids area is not crowded. They do tend to put the preteens and teens together when the groups are small. My niece played video games, cards interactive games, contests and really enjoyed herself when she was there. It was only on Sea Days for her, because we were so busy on excursions when the ship docked. At 17 she was the oldest and the youngest grouped with her was 12. They used both the pre teen and teen areas.
